What's In Today's Episode:

I know what it feels like to be overwhelmed by fear, uncertainty, and change. I know what it’s like to be afraid. But the truth is, we’re all scared. No one out there who’s doing amazing shit is doing it without facing a shit ton of fear at the same time.

In today’s episode, I want to share with you what’s been going on inside of my own heart recently. As I’ve reflected on the milestones I’ve reached, I’ve spent a lot of time reflecting on the fears I faced along this journey.

We’re all reaching new milestones every day - even small ones that we easily miss, letting them pass us by without even a simple acknowledgement. But what’s more important than acknowledging the milestone is reflecting on the fears we had to face to achieve those milestones.

That’s right. We face our fears. We don’t overcome them.

I feel a heart-centered, tear-filled soul chat coming on. Will you join me?

And the crazy, inspiring ways she...

Faced the fear of feeling like a “nobody” when reaching out to girl bosses that she admired

Found peace with facing her fears, but not overcoming them

Certain chapters in our life are filled to the brim with uncertainty. And at this point in my life, I’m facing more than usual. But it’s a good kind of uncertainty that feels less like fear and more like unlimited possibility.

In this episode, you'll learn the GRIT + GLITTER of:

Redefining fearless to reach those big milestones

Finding the willingness to do the big, scary things

Finding happiness and contentment in complete uncertainty

Treating fear not as a scary monster, but as a beautiful, normal reality

The Raw Truth of Lauren Frontiera:

“It’s not possible to be completely fearless. I haven’t done anything without being scared and facing fears.”

“Even more important than acknowledging a milestone is to reflect back on the fears we had to face to make these dreams a reality.”

“Rather than being fearless, we should be willing to face our fears.”

“We must acknowledge that life is a series of uncertainty and change, wrapped in fear.”

“Fear doesn’t have to be this big, bad, scary monster. It can just be this beautiful reality and truth that is life.”

“We don’t have to first be fearless. We just have to be willing to face those fears.”

“We all doubt ourselves. We’re all afraid to put all our time and energy into something and it not go as planned.”
